Windows 7: Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Well actually that was my main problem to ask for help. In my first post here I mentioned that Windows 7 was the only OS listed under the Boot Tab, even when XP was installed and running.
Weird isn't it?

UPDATE:
I used EasyBCD to remove the XP entry and everything is fine now.
Thanks for your patience and help guys.

Thanks for the guide, but after I install 7, then create a new partition and install XP, I get no option for selecting XP or 7, boots back into 7. If I keep the XP disk in the drive, I get the NTLDR is missing error, ....Help:).

Hi I've a WinXP on one HDD and recently installed Win7 RTM on another. When the installation completes, it'll prompt me to boot to which OS upon startup. How can I change it to there is no prompt but when I want to boot to another OS, I'll change the HDD boot priority.

I've run in to a bad problem. I followed your guide (method 2) exactly. I installed XP on to a second partition on the same hard drive that Windows 7 resides on. Now when I boot up it goes straight to "Unable to load operating system." I cannot boot into Windows 7 OR XP. I don't have a Windows 7 install disc as I installed it with a virtual drive. Can I fix this or am I screwed?

I've tried running the XP repair disc and the problem persists. I tried doing was FIXMBR and FIXBOOT on the XP partition. I'm currently downloading a Vista x64 recovery disc to try and repair the boot manager that way.
